Waymeet has expanded its recall to include approximately 19,500 ESR HaloLock wireless power banks, following 20 reports of the lithium-ion batteries catching fire and exploding. These pocket-sized chargers can overheat and ignite, causing potential fire and burn injuries, with reports already indicating about $30,000 in property damage. The recall covers model numbers 2G505, 2G520, 2G505B, and 2G512B, which were sold in various colors including black, white, blue, and gray. Consumers should immediately stop using these power banks and contact the company for a full refund.
The lithium-ion battery inside the power bank can overheat and ignite, causing the device to catch fire or explode. This poses a significant risk of serious burn injuries to users and can cause property damage if the fire spreads to surrounding structures or materials.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power banks and contact Waymeet for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to send to support@esrtech.com their order number (not required) and a photo of the recalled power bank showing the model number with the word "Recalled" written on it in permanent marker. Consumers should dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state hazardous waste disposal regulations. Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
All recalled models have five circular LED display lights on one side. ESR is printed on the back and model numbers are on the right side.
